This book examines the ways in which female backpackers search for
authenticity during their travels throughout Australia. Qualitative
methods, using participant observation and open ended, in-depth
interviewing techniques, were used for the generation of insights
and theory from the data. The study explores salient issues related
to undergoing the 'real' or 'true' experience while travelling
Australia. Current research, for the most part, is conducted mostly
in capital city settings. It is apparent that backpackers travel
for longer than other tourists. They show a pre-occupation with
their budget while travelling and travel more widely than other
tourists. They differ from tourists because they eschew packaged
tourist products but, infrequently and selectively, succumb to the
packaged tour. Backpackers also create or use existing networks of
support throughout their journeys. This book is well suited to
studies in tourism, gender, sociology and grounded theory studies.
